A Reunion Decades in the Making: Gundam GQuuuuuuX Finale Surprises Fans

The final episode of Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX aired late on June 24, delivering a surprise that left fans reeling with emotion. Legendary voice actor Tōru Furuya, known for his role as Amuro Ray in the original Mobile Suit Gundam, returned to the franchise—this time as a mysterious voice identified as the "Endymion Unit."

Though Amuro himself did not appear on screen, Furuya’s voice echoed through the climactic scene, signaling a powerful tribute to the origins of the Gundam saga. Fans on X immediately recognized his distinct tone, launching “Furuya-san” into the platform’s trending topics overnight.

Adding to the nostalgia, iconic characters Char Aznable and Lalah Sune, voiced by Shūichi Ikeda and Keiko Han respectively, also made appearances. The trio’s involvement marked a symbolic reunion of the original series’ cast, now immortalized in this modern reimagining.

About Gundam GQuuuuuuX

Set in a space colony, the series follows Amate Yuzuriha, a high school student living a peaceful life until she meets Nyaan, a girl displaced by war. This encounter thrusts Amate into the underground world of Clumbattles, illegal mobile suit duels.

Taking on the entry name “Machu,” Amate pilots the GQuuuuuuX mobile suit and soon finds herself in relentless combat. As the story unfolds, she crosses paths with a mysterious Gundam—pursued by both the Space Forces and the police—and its enigmatic pilot, Shuji Ito, signaling the dawn of a new era.

Directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki, Created by Studio Khara × Sunrise

The series is written by Yoji Enokido, with mechanical designs by Ikuto Yamashita. The voice cast includes:
